The little Pacino lines from Pete every now and again was really the sprinkles of Angel Dust in this wonderfully rolled joint of an ep.
But daaaaaaaaamn, this whole movie is just the old Bond villain stereotype of leaving mister Bond to die an awful slow death while the villain goes on with his day and Bond finds a clever way to escape. Except, instead of that being just one scene, it's the entire movie. I get the significance of the time he's given... but honestly, it's not convincing in its importance, if that makes any sense. There is no reason for Leelee Sobieski to draw it out like that when she has his total trust. All she needs to do is just invite herself over to his place one day and just murder him straight up. Push him down some stairs or something. Why even risk doing the whole Zodiac Killer/John Doe from Se7en game of fucking with him... especially when you're not good at it?
